Why am I a shuttercow, you may ask?

A question and answer post.

Q: Why are you a shuttercow?
A: Because I like taking photographs.

Q: Oh, you mean you are a shutterbug not a shuttercow?
A: Yeah, its something like that. But I am a cow not a bug!

Q: Why are you a cow?
A: Because I am an OFW.

Q: What's an OFW?
A: It's the acronym for Overseas Filipino Worker.

Q: Duh! What's a cow got to do with an OFW then?
A: Because OFWs are cash cows.

Q: Huh, what's a cash cow?
A: I have actually written about it in my other blog. You should read it.

Q: What's the post link then? Gimme!
A: Sure. Wait a while...

Q: C'mon hurry up! What's the link?
A: Ok here it is.

Q: Grrrrrrrrr! Where????!
A: Here. http://milkcashcow.wordpress.com/2008/01/28/on-milking-the-cash-cow/

Is there any need for the OFWs to feel like this? I consider the OFWs to be the heroes of Philippines. They have worked selflessly to build their country, by claiming to be cash cows they won't achieve the higher goal of ensuring their demands are met by the government. They must strive towards ensuring that their remittances are utilised properly to build infrastructure. By investing in their native land they can be a part of the change.

Hi remitter! Are you an OFW?

I respect your opinion but I think you are missing the point again. Anyway, thanks for dropping by.
